CHAPTER 4: WELCOME BACK LIZ
That night things were better all around for everyone. There no nightmares and everyone had slept peacefully, especially since everyone had helped to make sure the house was clean everywhere for Liz and everyone was tired. Even Vince since he also had to do basic training with the kids.
Well not C since she was too young, but she did like to watch them. Especially the demonstrations with Benny and Mary. Over the years they had taken up his fighting style and were both orange belts and nearing yellow.
Vince however was a black belt in Mototsugu-family clan style of Karate. It was taught to him by his sensei, a kind elderly Japanese man from a long line of samurai. In fact he had even given Vince the clan sword and the clan crest was what he had tattooed onto his chest.
The kids liked to see his movements with the sword and the sai. The Bo staff was also something cool but the kids weren't as interested in it. Rick and Lisa were the top students since they were doing it the longest. And he placed the twins with Kate since they were nearly the same age.
Now it was morning after breakfast and they were all waiting for Liz to get home. Vince had taken some time with the twins to see if they were all right with this. They had a hard time accepting new people, heck they were still trying to accept them, but they had promised him that they would try to give her a chance.
It was three o'clock by Liz's watch. She had felt more relaxed then she had in a long time. That vacation was just what she needed. The cab pulled up to the house and was relieved to see it in the same shape she had left it. She paid the cab and took out her suitcase.
The front door opened and she found Benny there smiling at her. "So how was your time off?"
"Great." She said smiling. "How are things going here? I was told we got two new guests?"
"Yeah well...they're still adjusting." He told her as he took her bag.
She had heard that they had difficulty fitting in somewhere. As she entered the door she soon wasn't able to mover her legs after a small purple blur wrapped around her legs. "You're back!" C squealed happily to her.
"I missed you too C." She said smiling. "C, I really would like to move." C sheepishly let go smiling broadly at her.
The twins were standing behind Vincent watching it all. There stood a woman with Asian features with a long black hair put into a long braid that went down to her lower back. She smiled at them and they both weren't further behind Vincent.
"Hey it's alright you two, she won't hurt you." He said softly to them.
Jill came a little away and smiled and nodded to the woman, Jack hadn't moved one bit. She sighed a little. She knew they wouldn't take to her immediately. Then she looked at Rick and his messy brown hair and then to Benny whose hair was basically the same.
"I still say you're contaminating that boy Benny." She said to him.
"Hey, girls like the whole look." Benny said to her.
"Yeah keep telling yourself that." She said.
"Hey I get more dates then you do." He said back. She wanted to replay to that, but knew he was right. Didn't mean she had to like it. Then she turned to Vincent.
"Are things going well?"
He nodded. "Pretty quiet except for those few days I told you about." She remembered him telling her about their visitors and what they told them. She wasn't sure to believe in most of it, but he said he believed them and he had a good judge of character so she went with him.
"Well that's good." She smiled then started to look around the house. She rang her finger on the surfaces of everything nearby looking for dust. She found none.
"You won't find anything dirty this time." Rick said grinning.
"Well see about that." They soon broke up, the kids going off to play together, except for Rick and Lisa as the oldest they decided to watch a movie that was on. It wasn't until half an hour later that Liz came back to the adults who were sitting around the table in a discussion.
"HA!" She said pointing. "I knew I would find a place you guys neglected."
"What? Where?" Mary asked.
"The furnace room." She said plainly. Mary and Vincent looked at Benny since he and Rick were in charge of the basement area.
"That place is always dirty." He said in his defense. "I mean no one really goes in there, unless to fix the fuse box, do the laundry, or something."
"Well it's full of dust and there's still clothes in the washer." Liz said to him. They both turned to Benny again since it was his turn for laundry duty.
"Oops. Okay that I forgot." He said shyly.
After Benny and Vincent were elected to clean and finish the laundry Liz went to the office. The office was really more then a converted closet. There was an electronic lock and keypad you had to use to enter it.
Once in the closed and nearly claustrophobic room which had no windows and only a light on the ceiling was the only light source. She closed the door and sat down at a computer. It wasn't an ordinary one, but one Benny and Vince had worked on with parts that Mary had acquired.
The computer had vast memory and processing power and the room had ventilation for air and to keep the room cool so the computer wouldn't overheat. The computer was a direct connection to the Underground Net. It was so messages could be sent over secure lines without using phones.
There were also a few filing cabinets with other information. The room itself was also rigged. Since no safe house in the Underground had information on all the other operations, if one house fell all the others wouldn't.
But a lot of damage could still be done, which was why the room was rigged. The computer hard drive would whip itself, and the room was also rigged to be set on fire so there would be nothing left for anyone else to use.
She typed in her access code and checked her secure E-Mail for any messages or information the Underground had sent to her while she was gone. There was nothing, which was kind of strange. Normally she would get at least a few updates in the local area, but nothing.
It was strange, so she sent a message to the local area coordinator to see if there was anything wrong. She didn't know how long it would be for a replay but she just hoped it was an oversight.
Later that day Vincent was going to his room. 'Strange...I left the door open.' He thought as he saw the closed door. He shrugged if of as someone must have closed it. He regretted blowing it off as soon as he stepped through. He suddenly found himself being sprayed on both sides by silly string.
As soon as it stopped he was covered head to toe in it. Then he heard the laughing of two females. He grabbed the stuff from his eyes and saw that Mary and Lisa were now in from of him.
"What...was...that for?" He asked the girls.
Mary grinned at him. "That...was for leaving me alone to answer some very personal and embarrassing questions by a twelve year old about my past relationships."
He turned to Lisa who actually had a small grin on her face, which was a rare feet. "That was for leaving me out of the loop."
"Well I'll admit you girls got me good." He said in a calm voice with a smile, which made the girls slightly nervous. "But I have to ask you two something. When thinking of this master plan of yours...did it occur how you would get away from me fast enough to avoid my own retaliation?"
Both girls looked at each other. They hadn't thought of that. "Sorry Mary, but survival of the fittest." With the she pushed Mary right into Vincent and as he grabbed her Lisa ran out the door.
"You little traitor!" She yelled at the girl as Vince hoisted her over his shoulder. "Vince...what are you up too?" He didn't answer he just went into the bathroom across the hall. "VINCE?"
With her on his shoulders he started the run the water in the tub. "Oh no you are not!" She yelled out trying to break out of his hold, but since he could bench press a dump truck it was pointless.
"You know, your right." He said and she was relived. "It needs bubbles." And poured in bubble bath they used sometimes for the kids. She continued to protest and struggle until he literally dropped her in. She sat there wet and covered in bubbles and glaring daggers at his smug expression.
"What the Hell is going on up here?" Liz said walking into the bathroom. She stopped and took a look at the two so called 'adults' of the house and sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. 'I should have taken a longer trip.' She thought.
They were about to explain she held up her hand to stop them. "You know what? I don't want to know, just...clean up after all of this. And Mary, don't forget to wash behind your ears."
"Ha, ha." Mary said sarcastically. After they had either clean off or dried off, Vince went off in search of the other offender and Mary headed downstairs. On her way she passed Benny.
"Splish, splash, I was taking a bath all on a-OW!" He had stopped singing after Mary had punched him in the arm. Now he was rubbing the place and moving away from her glare. "Sorry, couldn't help myself." He admitted still grinning. By now the entire house knew what had happen and he had to admit, it was pretty funny.
